An experimental polyarthritis develops in rats following the intraperitoneal injection of 1 ml. of Murphy Rat Lymphosarcoma exudate. It was observed that gold therapy (Myochrysine) is equally effective in intact or adrenalectomized animals when the latter are maintained either on DOC-Ac or COL-Ac.
Nephroealcinosis resulting from massive treatment with myochrysine was evident on1y in adrenalectomized rats receeiving DOC-Ac. It is suggested that combined treatment of gold and COL-Ac might be beneficial as they both possess anti-inflammatory properties and the nephrotoxic action of gold is prevented by COL-Ac.
